Inspirational quotes won't work unless you do. Grind in the dark. Inspire others through your actions and work ethic, not your lip service.

The blessing of children and outdoor play: Today was as horrific of a day as I’ve had in a long time. I couldn’t catch a break and was upset. I had one net positive, a simple game of catch with the kids before sundown that made me happy. Going to bed early. Tomorrow’s a new day.

My little math wizard put in the work and received an award for the quarter. He got 100% on his 3 major benchmark tests. Building positive academic habits now to set the tone for the future. The books 📕 get you looks.

youtube.com/playlist?list=… The album if the day is Joshua Tree by U2. Ireland’s premier pop rock band has made some solid records, but none as perfect as this one. There are no bad songs and With or Without You is one of the best songs ever.

My son repping the family team this St. Patty’s day ☘️. Just like dad, he proudly protects and represents Celtic Pride on these SoCal elementary playgrounds full of Lakers fandom. 😂@FCHWPO he rocked your jersey at the Clippers game when you dropped 50 this year!

youtube.com/playlist?list=… The album of the day is Van Halen by Van Halen. This is just great straight up classic rock with Eddie shredding and David Lee Roth singing! Running With The Devil, Eruption, and Jamie’s Crying are the standouts.

Are there things you enjoy watching that some would consider odd? I like watching chiropractor s cracking bones or lobster fishermen peeling barnacles off of lobsters 🦞. I can do this for lengthy periods of time. It’s like meditation and helps me relax. 😌

youtube.com/playlist?list=… The album of the day is Corinne Bailey Rae by Corrine Bailey Rae. I was being sentimental today as my son is starting to get into music. The first ever concert he went to featured this young lady. Put Your Records On and Like A Star are the standouts.

@AirMax1963 Time is a thief. I’m going to be a grandpa in June

@CoachChaddick Where does time go I remember when he was born..

Elite 8! Happy birthday 🎂🎊🎉🎁🎈 son. I love you. You are so loved and a better person than I could have ever expected. Keep being authentically you. Hope you enjoyed your sushi, can’t wait for your video game party next week!

youtube.com/playlist?list=… The album of the day is Boston by Boston. I randomly heard More Than A Feeling on an oldies station today and decided to download that song on my Apple Music. Ended up listening to the whole album an hour ago. Classic prog rock!

Baby boy’s last day as a 7 year old. We had our traditional coffee cake from Carolyn’s (momma had some on the 14th 8 years ago and went into labor 😂), purchased Legos, played uno and now he’s off with big sis. He’s gonna be an Uncle, I’m going to be a grandpa and that’s 🔥❤️.

At 8 I became locked in on my favorite sports teams (Broncos, Celtics,Dodgers). I’m glad even as a kid I had sense enough to not pick to poverty franchises like the Dolphins, Jets, Browns, Raiders, Clippers, Wizards, Kings, Padres, Angels, or Pirates. Sports purgatory is sad 😢

I need to immerse myself into nature sometime soon to reset.

This is the time of year in SoCal when you experience all 4 seasons in 1 day. Winter in the morning, then it’s spring from 11-1:30, feels like blazing 🥵 summer in the afternoon, and fall at sundown. Shorts and hoodie weather.

youtube.com/playlist?list=… The album of the day is Good Girl Gone Bad by Rihanna. This record is 20 years old and has aged extremely well. Standouts include Umbrella, Hate That I Love You, Don’t Stop The Music, Disturbia, and Rehab. Perfect Friday party record.

@chriscfore 🙏

My daughter was in an accident yesterday, other person's fault; it was wild getting the Life 350 notification that she was in an accident. She called about 45 seconds later. Luckily, she's okay. But she is in concussion protocol today.

Another life. Way.back in the day in a different chapter of my life. I dabbled (and still occasionally train) in MMA and was fortunate enough to grow up with the Tapout crew and train with many guys like Stephan Bonnar who arguably had the most important fight in MMA history.

youtube.com/playlist?list=… The album of the day is Time Out by Dave Brubeck. One of my favorite jazz albums ever. Take 5 is a timeless jazz standard

youtube.com/playlist?list=… The album of the day is Surfer Rosa by The Pixies. It features the all time iconic song Where is My Mond? But several other tracks like Gigantic and The River Euphrates are also awesome.

Muffins with Dad event to kick off the day with my son before heading to work. I’m grateful for these moments.
